If he is hunched and not eating by morning, go to the vet. Waiting is the one thing you cannot undo.

If he is still hunched in the morning I would call. Settling-in stool clears up on its own, a hunched hamster usually does not.

How is the ventilation holding up? That was the one thing I could never get right on mine.

This is the best kind of build post. What mesh did you use for the lid and how did you frame it?

She looks so pleased with herself. Sand baths are the best entertainment.

Check it twice a day for three days. If he starts pawing at the cheek or refuses food, that is a vet visit.

Soft droppings in the first week are usually stress, but the hunched posture is the part I would not ignore.

Soft droppings for the first week are pretty common from stress. Keep an eye on it but do not panic yet.

Mine was the same at 10%. It was 30% mixed with his old food that finally got him eating them.

Careful with pellets long term — too much of the wrong one and they can get bladder issues. Worth checking the calcium content.

Filling the whole base sounds nice in photos but it is a lot of bedding. One deep end has worked fine here.

Try soaking two pellets in water for a minute first, the smell changes completely and mine suddenly ate them.

Mine took about three weeks. What worked was cutting the pellets in half and scattering them in the bedding instead of the bowl.
